Here's to a calmer week than last week. Good lord, last week.
I do have two Wordpress posts to link to, before I forget: Who Deserves Your Disdain, about passion and hypocrisy, and The City War Is Coming, announcing that my novella with Riptide Publishing will be released as an ebook on November 19th, with paperback following later in the year.
In other news,51stcenturyfox mentioned the other day that she'd like to ship Pepper Potts/Maria Hill, but they'd never met in the Avengers film. To which I replied "But they did kick ass together in the comics!" and then had to put my comic books where my mouth was.
World's Most Wanted, which was a story arc in the Iron Man comic in 2009, is the longest fucking story ever, and could have been shortened drastically by cutting out 90% of the villain's broody moustache-twirling. Intriguingly, if you cut out both the villain, Norman Osborne, and the ostensible hero, Tony Stark, it still forms an almost-coherent story of its own. A story in which Pepper and Maria commit international espionage with Natasha Romanoff, and Tony Stark shows up in cameos to provide exposition and sex.
Also there are some zombies. So you know, something for everyone.
Anyway, my point is, I assembled a .cbz (comic-book-reader) file containing about a third of World's Most Wanted, so if you want to read a comic book about the women in Tony Stark's life and how they actually do stuff while he wanders around having manpain, you can download it here. If you don't have a comic book reader program, you can change the file extension to .zip, unzip it, and read the pages image-by-image.
Ain't technology grand?
